Injuries for Mexico

Mexico may be without two starters when they take on Switzerland.

Midfielders Hector Herrera and Javier Aquino both missed training following the Gabon match. Both players are nursing ankle injuries. Aquino hurt his ankle against Japan and Herrera injured his against South Korea.

Both would be significant absences for the Mexican side, but they will have to adjust in order to get a result. Jorge Enriquez is likely to replace Herrera like he did against South Korea.

Giovani dos Santos

Giovani dos Santos was the answer for Mexico against Gabon, scoring both goals in the second half after not coming off the bench against South Korea. Without Javier Hernandez on the side, the Mexicans lack a real scoring threat outside of dos Santos.

There is no coincidence that Mexico's attack greatly improved with dos Santos making his Olympic debut to start the second half against South Korea. Mexico will need Dos Santos to be an attacking threat against a fairly strong and disciplined Swiss defense.

Mexico don't need a ton of offense, but things would be a lot more comfortable if dos Santos can snag an early goal.
